Reviews

[Annalisa · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book highlights many examples of what stalking looks like, but in my view doesn’t deliver on the subtitle to make the system work for you. It’s also dated (written in 1998) in terms of evolution of stalking laws. Well written (clear), well researched.

not much on instructions on the legal process. Good read though.
